decided to not boost my toyota
 

but buy a 2wd yoda instead, throw a huge t3, or t3/4, or t4 on it, forged internals, a little cam action, 295/xx(probably 60 series)/15 tires, dana 44 rearend w/ posi/3.73 gears (i currently have this), run race gas, and at least 15psi. isnt much to lighten out of one of these other than bumpers, inner fenders/bed panels, and maybe a small fuel cell. 2wd toyotas weigh around 2800 i think, ill have to check on this, but getting to 2600 will be decently easy.

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

::)

I decided to throw a holset and run 40 psi on my stock LS.
Lets see how gets done first. :P

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

ooh 15psi...amazing!

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

'At least' normaly means no less than

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

i was planning on 20 but 15 until i get it tuned good, then just possibly forgo the wastegate and run straight boost

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

good luck with that :y

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

cast iron solid deck madness yo

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

good luck on finding one for a decent price thats frame isnt rusted out

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

this the blueball striptease of the whole project. i used to have a frame up resto'd '88 2wd and last year i wasnt home and my dad started torching it for scrap, i come home and its cut in half. i was ------ pissed, and i couldn't find a trans for it, so it was sitting until i did.

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

If you want to scrap the idea of a yota, theres an S10 down the road here for sale for $900, im sure its probably got a v8 in it, flat black looks nice.

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

get a rope. i said toyota. s10's are poop on wheels

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

tt 5.7 > turbo 2.2

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

turbo 2.4 @ 25mpg daily driver > twin turbo garbage chevy v8 with 12mpg that you cant street

edit: displacement > you, why the ---- else would you be on hmt?

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

I have personaly driven a v8 s10, and it was the most lame ---- ever. All it does well is burnouts.

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

This was my plan a while back, but Jeff talked me out of it. He told me to "buy a real truck". :'( I've owned a couple 2wd Toyotas and I loved them both. :y

I know a guy who did a stroker 385 swap into his S10. Ran 12's all day long...

On the otherhand, it's nice seeing other Toyota owners wanting to boost..

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

i love threads about projects that never get started/ finished, i bet the stealth shuttle is done before your "
yota"

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

then it wasnt built/setup properly. if it was built properly it could be one of the best cars ever. if it was just swapped in and drove away of course its gonna ride and drive like ----. its like putting a v8 in a honda(though its highly unlikely without proper mechanics and physics) and driving off. what do you think its gonna do? drives like ---- and rides like complete ass.

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

marica!

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

toyota just has more factory options for swapping engines into chassis' without any real modification to the rest of the truck (ie 1uz into a hilux = room to spare, just mounts and harness that will be changed) whereas dropping in a sbc or a sbf will present the need to modify the firewall.

and who said i was sticking with the 22r? this is the secret of it all :8

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

a 5.7 chevy will bolt into an s10 with aftermarket engine mounts. No modification is needed to a 85+ s10. They changed the firewall after 85 because they started putting in the 4.3. I've looked into doing this before I got my honda.

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

i really dont give a ---- about domestic engineering, you can find a toyota with 200k or 300k or even more fairly easily and even if the body falls off it still runs like low mileage. alloys < toyota, much like honda.

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

Haha, that's cute. They changed the firewall. I didn't see any difference in getting the top two bellhousing bolts out of both 84 and 88 S10 with the 2.8 V6, which exactly as stupid as the top two bellhousing bolts on any of the 4.3 V6 trucks.

Most of the V8 swaps into S10's need modifications to clear the steering column, and there is less clearance for 350 than 305.



They are either slow 15 second piles of ----, or some of the nastiest things ever built. I've never seen one that was in the middle, so to speak.

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

I'm pretty sure Downy makes a bolt-in kit to put a SBC into a Toyota with -0- modifications. The only problem you would have is with the tranny hitting the firewall. You can fix this with either a 3" body lift or just by using a manual tranny, which I would want anyways.

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

i know they do. but it takes away from the fun of inter-company engine swapping

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

All apologies. I wasn't inferring you needed to do a sbc swap into your Toyota. That would be pure blasphemy IMO. However if you did a 1uz swap or a jz swap, that would be a site to see. Either way, happy modding.

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

or just throw in an sr20det.. up the boost and call it a day :6

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

Toss a SR20DET into any Nissan hardbody pick with a KA in it. Last time I checked the KA's blocks for the 240sx's and the hardbody's were the same. I probably wrong though. I like Toyota pickups but damn I swear those things were mad of sugar cause as soon as water hits them they just crumble apart. I loved that one that Marty McFly got in the first Back to the Future. Now that was sexy. 8)

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

Jon I was thinking morealong the lines of this:

Attachment 30672

And if I find a pic of the S10 that looks about the same ill post it up...

but you and I both know that both the ranger and s10 are seriously fast. I just figured that a v8 powerplant in a cheap s10 might be good... or ranger...

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

I think the Yota just looks better then a s10 or ranger. I like rangers but not for some hotrodding action.

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

Wing screams :8.

Re: decided to not boost my toyota
 

Actually, I think its a fat white guy.

The S10 is owned by a middle aged woman iirc.

correct me if im wrong, jon, yuriy, tim, etc.. lol

No, I saw his email address. Turns out hotrex was right about that much; his father failled, and he smells like eggroll.
